So, I went Ice skating yesterday and really sprained my elbow muscles or something. I can not extend or completely bend my arm right now. In fact, I am writing the message mostly one-handed. I can hardly yoyo right now. Has anyone else ever encountered something like this?
Which arm is it? If itās your right then I donāt see how you could yoyo at all, LOL.
Iāve had certain instances where my hands get so dry that they start to crack (I donāt know whatās with 'em) and I can hardly throw. Kinda gross, but you askedā¦LOL.
Irrelevant, there are lefties in yoyoing too 
By the way, same as above, I had come to a point, one and a half year(s?) ago, where my right middle finger was so cracked I could barely throw a yoyo. It took more than a year to fully recover, as the cracks kept re-opening. I feel like Iāve lost this year because I couldnāt yoyo as much as I wanted.

LOL, yeah, usually I would just say ādominant handā, but I know this guy personally, and heās a righty.
Legit then, my apologies! I understood the āyouā the impersonal way 
Youāre totally fine! I would probably say the same thing, LOL.
back in September I broke my thumb playing baseball and I could not throw normal for about halfway through October. Than on Halloween I ended up slipping and breaking my wrist which made me not throw for a while but, eventually i could move it around so I could throw a little. It does really stink not to be able to yoyo without it hurting though I hope you get better soon
Yeah just let it heal. You donāt want to make the injury worse. Are you participating in the tournament?
First off, I would like to thank all of you for your sympathy.
It is my left elbow. It hurts to make quick or awkward movements with it. Like, I canāy do an upside-down Trapeze.
And, yes, I am participating in the contest. :ā( :ā(
Get some heat on it man rest up and get a compression sleeve it will help insulate your elbow you can get them at any sports store in the basketball area I use them for competition because I have tendonitis thats all you can do hopefully you feel better in time for competition and use the sleeve

A few years ago I got tennis elbow right before a contest. I wore a support for it, but it still made that contest a painful experience.
Man that sucks hopefully it heals soon enough.
My hands are pretty bruised up right now. I have two middle knuckle cuts on my right index and middle finger. They crack and bleed daily its gettin annoying hahaha. I also hurt my elbow the other day. Its not bad now tho. Ibuprofen. Word.
Work on looping tricks. This can be a good time to develop a stronger throw.

I wish I had thought about this!
Pretty clever!
That is a decent idea. I stink at looping though and I donāt really like it either.
I often encounter the problem of burning my fingers making it extremely painful to use a yoyo at all
I had/have carpall Tunnel Syndrome. Hurts like crazy, even when not moving.
